Conrad Murray Sentenced: Michael Jackson Doctor Gets Maximum Four Years

Judge Michael Pastor ruled that Murray would not receive probation, after the doctor's lawyers requested the more lenient sentence. "There is no question that the death of his patient, Mr. Jackson, was unintentional and an enormous tragedy for everyone affected," they wrote in their sentencing memo. The prosecutors, meanwhile, countered that Murray undertook a "dangerous, unprecedented pharmaceutical experiment" on Jackson.
Based on the provision in California's prison realignment act, which aims to combat overcrowding, Murray's four-year sentence is to be served in the Los Angeles County Jail instead of a prison. He will also have to pay the court for certain fees and will be forced to pay restitution to the Jackson family. The prosecution requested he pay $100 million, but the judge said the actul amount will be determined at a later date.
"The Bible reminds us that men cannot do justice, they can only seek justice," the Jackson family said in a statement at the sentencing. "That is all we can ask as a family, and that is all we ask for here." They added, "We are not here to seek revenge. There is nothing you can do today that will bring Michael back."

We as people need to learn to forgive the Dr. Conrad for the mistake he made. We cant hold it against him forever. That wouldnt be rite. If we want God to forgive us for our sins and mistakes we have to learn to forgive others for theres.Actually Jackson had a drug addiction when Conrad came alone. Michael just manipulated Conrad into giving him IV drugs every nite. When you have money you have power to get what u want when you want!!
